Early life and backgroundYashomati Chandrakant Thakur was born on 17 May 1974 in Mojari, Amravati, Maharashtra. Raised in a political family, her father Chandrakant “Bhayyasaheb” Thakur served the Teosa constituency in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Yashomati completed her legal studies at Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Law College, Amravati University, and holds an LLB degree.
She is known locally by several names, including Yashomati Bhayyasaheb Thakur and Yashomati Tai Thakur. Her hometown and primary base is Amravati, where she has long been active in regional politics.
Career
Yashomati Thakur is a member of the Indian National Congress and has built a political career that spans grassroots organisation work, party posts and legislative office. Early in her political journey she contested the Teosa Assembly seat in 2004 but was not successful. That same period saw her rise through the youth wing of the party: she served as General Secretary of the Maharashtra Pradesh Youth Congress from 2004 to 2009 and took on organisational responsibilities in several states under the youth leadership led by Rahul Gandhi.
Within the Congress structure she has held roles at both state and national levels, including Secretary positions in the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee and the All India Congress Committee. She has also served as a state party president and, at times, been tasked with party responsibilities beyond Maharashtra, including a secretaryship for Karnataka.
Electoral success followed her organisational work. Thakur won the Teosa Assembly seat in 2009 and retained it in the 2014 and 2019 elections, becoming a three-time MLA. Between December 2019 and June 2022 she served in the Maharashtra state government as Minister of Women and Child Development. During the winter session of the Maharashtra Assembly in Nagpur in December 2019 she was appointed Vidhansabha Talika President for that session, and she served as guardian minister of Amravati District from 2020 to 2022.

Her family background is frequently referenced in coverage of her career. Her father, Bhayyasaheb Thakur, who once represented Teosa, passed away in 2018. She is widowed and has two children, a son named Yashwardhan and a daughter named Akanksha. Her mother is Pushpamala Thakur, and she has a sister, Sanyogita Satyajit Naik Nimbalkar, who has been involved in politics and professional work.

In a long-running case stemming from an incident in 2012, a sessions court initially convicted her in connection with an assault on a traffic policeman; subsequent appeals progressed through higher courts and, in 2020, a court sentenced her to three months’ rigorous imprisonment and imposed a financial penalty. Other charges recorded in election disclosures include allegations related to voluntarily causing hurt, criminal intimidation, unlawful assembly and rioting.
